What is SpeedItUp?
SpeedItUp is a potentially unwanted application that presents itself as a system optimization tool. It is widely promoted on a number of websites, including speeditupfree.com. This tool promises to upgrade your computer, speed it up “with a single click,” clean it, prevent crashes and even “allow webpages to load faster.” Unfortunately, it is very unlikely that SpeedItUp can do everything it promises to do. In fact, you are strongly recommended to remove SpeedItUp from your computer as this application (contrary to its claims) may slow down the system and even expose it to other potentially unwanted programs.

Where does SpeedItUp come from?
As it has been mentioned in the previous paragraph, SpeedItUp has an official website at speeditupfree.com. The download link on the web pages works just fine, although our research team says that users seldom download such optimization tools from the official homepages. It is simply rather hard to come across such websites when one surfs the web.
It is a lot more common to download SpeedItUp bundled with freeware. Users often download freeware apps from third-party file hosting websites, and they also forget that such applications seldom come alone. Hence, if you have installed a new application recently, and SpeedItUp popped up into action, chances are that you have downloaded the optimization tool bundled with the application in question.
What does SpeedItUp do?
Upon the installation, SpeedItUp is configured to run automatically every time you turn on your computer. This application pops up and urges you to run a full system scan. It is bound to find various errors, but do not be so quick to “fix” them because SpeedItUp may point out to non-existent errors as well.
What is more, SpeedItUp may connect to the internet behind your back and constantly update itself. This program often installs other potentially unwanted applications on target computer as well. In our case, SpeedItUp installed MyPC Backup and PC Optimizer Pro. It might also often redirect you to unreliable websites that promote other shady applications (like registry cleaners and so on).
To put it simply, SpeedItUp makes use of your system resources, so it can slow down the PC, rather than improve its performance. Also, it might expose you to potentially harmful applications. This optimization tool is not a malevolent threat itself, but since it could be exploited by malevolent third parties, it is for the best to uninstall it.
How to remove SpeedItUp?
You can uninstall SpeedItUp via Control Panel, but it might not be enough. Some of the files will remain on your computer, and if you run them accidentally, the program might regenerate. To avoid that, scan the PC with SpyHunter free scanner to detect all the leftover files. Then acquire a licensed antispyware application that will delete remaining SpeedItUp files automatically. Do what is best for your computer.
